Pennsylvania State Police arrested a man from Oklahoma in Columbia County after police learned he heard voices in his head telling him to kill President Donald Trump and his family.
This all comes as the president is due in Luzerne County on Thursday.
People living in the community of Briar Creek near Berwick were surprised to learn that someone would travel all the way from Oklahoma to tell someone that he wants to kill the president.
As it turns out, that wasn't the only unusual part of the story.
Troopers arrested Jeffrey Boyd, 55, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for making threats against President Trump.
"I was shocked, and I called my mom right away because I had to tell somebody what was going on. She was like, 'Well if they've got a gun drawn, it's something major.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, the question is how major and what is it?' " said Lacey Garrison of Berwick.
Comment: The importance of competence in fields that are life and death, or even fields where innovation and progress should be valued over equity, is something we as a society ignore at our own peril. The idea that skin color or gender are more important than actually being qualified or capable of performing, never mind excelling at, a job is utter insanity.
